WHITHER MATHUR? On Monday, the SOCCCD BOT passed a resolution honoring Dr. Eddie Hernandez, retiring chancellor of the Rancho Santiago Community College District. Good for them."Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."
—Samuel Johnson
It is reasonable to suppose that our own soon-to-be-unemployed Chancellor, Raghu Mathur, might be interested in the soon-to-be-available RSCCD Chance gig.
–And the Capo gig (no firm verification yet that Mathur was a finalist in the search for a new Superintendent).
BTW, I’ve heard (from an insider) that Capo has hired its new Superintendent and will make an announcement perhaps on Monday.
It’s not Mathur.
DON WAGNER, TEA PARTIER? Did you know that our own Don Wagner is a Tea Partier? Well, evidently he is. Nearly two weeks ago, Larry Gilbert of the Orange Juice blog posted a recap of the Mission Viejo TEA Party of April 15. Gilbert, apparently an idiot, describes the event as a huge and glorious success. Garsh, he says, the dang OC Reg underestimated attendance. “Three different participant,” he notes, told him that the crowd was larger than last year. In some areas, he says, “patriots” were “crammed together 4 or 5 deep….”
Tea Partiers call themselves “patriots.” As I recall, those Liberty Lobby bozos that descended upon the district twelve or thirteen years ago also called themselves “patriots.”
You know what Samuel Johnson said about patriotism. Yeah.
Gilbert is sensitive to the charge that some Tea Partiers are racists:
[MC] Mark [Dobrilovic] opened [by] saying this isn’t about black and white. This is not a racist event. In fact he said the first person we will go after is a white Republican foreigner named Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Like I said, Gilbert is an idiot. Dobrilovic too.
Upon noting that the crowd listened to the “patriotic music of Charlie Daniels and Lee Greenwood,” Gilbert lists the “event speakers,” including “Assembly Candidate” Don Wagner.
I wonder if Don is a “birfer” too?
